🔧 Fix CI/CD Pipeline: Resolve package-lock.json Desynchronization and ESLint Configuration

[Copilot]

Problem

The CI/CD pipeline was consistently failing with npm ci errors due to severe desynchronization between package.json and package-lock.json. The latest pipeline runs were failing with 57+ missing packages and version conflicts, preventing automated testing and deployment.

Specific Issues Fixed

1. Package Lock Desynchronization: The package-lock.json file was severely out of sync with package.json, causing npm ci to fail with errors like:

   Missing: acorn-jsx@5.3.2, flat-cache@3.2.0, locate-path@6.0.0
   Invalid: lock file's side-channel@1.0.6 does not satisfy side-channel@1.1.0
   

2. ESLint Configuration Error: The ESLint configuration was using an incorrect format for TypeScript ESLint extends, causing validation failures:

   ESLint couldn't find the config "@typescript-eslint/recommended" to extend from
   

Solution

1. Regenerated Package Lock File

• Deleted corrupted package-lock.json to ensure a clean slate
• Regenerated complete dependency tree using npm install
• Verified all dependencies from package.json are properly resolved and locked

2. Fixed ESLint Configuration

Updated .eslintrc.json extends format from:

"extends": [
  "eslint:recommended",
  "@typescript-eslint/recommended",
  "@typescript-eslint/recommended-requiring-type-checking"
]

To the correct plugin syntax:

"extends": [
  "eslint:recommended", 
  "plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended",
  "plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended-requiring-type-checking"
]

Verification

✅ npm ci works correctly: All dependencies install without errors
✅ Build process succeeds: npm run build completes successfully
✅ TypeScript compilation passes: npm run check executes without issues
✅ ESLint configuration resolved: No more plugin resolution errors

Impact

This fix resolves the ongoing CI/CD failures that have affected the last 6+ pipeline runs and restores:

• Stable dependency installation in CI/CD environments
• Automated testing capabilities
• Reliable build and deployment processes
• Proper linting and type checking validation

The CI/CD pipeline should now pass the dependency installation phase and proceed with builds, tests, and deployments as expected.
